nents on the decision of the Austrian
nilisery council. The serious character
u the situation has never been under es-
timated in Austrian official circles. The
government has never been uDmindful OF
the duties which the German ALLIANCE
imposes, and in the face of the Rds sisp
ornaments the authorities have never for
amonent been idle, but the government
,as been anxious to avoid as long IS pos
sible measures capable ct being inter
areted by Russia as acts Of prevocation
Preparations are complete for the des-
patch of achievements OF cavalry to
Galicia in the event Of fresh movement
Russian troops. The erection Of hutt
is proceeding actively along the line OF
defense. Timber which has been lying
n readiness since spring is being utilized,
